At a length of 10,450 mm, a width of 2,490 mm and a wheelbase of 6,500 mm, the 272RBSS has an unladen weight of 3,200 kg; against the gross weight of 3,500 kg that leaves a payload of only 300 kg. It runs on 4 wheels and dates from 2016. This narrow margin between unladen and gross weight is typical of travel trailers of this length, since the fixed interior fit-out already accounts for much of the permitted weight.

In class O2, the overrun brake is the usual type, and a category B licence is normally enough to tow such a trailer, provided the combined weight of the outfit stays within the applicable limit. With a payload of only 300 kg, there is little room left for extra load such as water, luggage or equipment beyond the factory fit-out.

When buying a used travel trailer, check especially for moisture in the interior, the condition of the roof and window seals, the function of the overrun brake, and the condition of the axle, wheel bearings and tyres. Given the low payload, it is worth weighing the actual unladen weight before the first trip. Exactly one example of this type is registered in the Netherlands, so spare parts are hard to find through normal trade.
